Forum’s Objectives
The Forum is open to all young professionals, from fresh graduates through to those with more advanced early careers.
The aim of the Young Professionals Forum is:
- To act as an access route and a means to integrate young professionals in the British business community in Beijing
- To assist young professionals in developing their general understanding and professional knowledge of China
- To provide a platform for members to share support, advice, and information
The Forum additionally offers the Young Professionals Development Programme, a new fellowship initiative which aims to elevate young professionals’ key employability skills through a series of participatory workshops led by hand-selected expert mentors.

Introduction
The emergence of China as a world leader has led increasing numbers of young British professionals to consider and to take up early-career positions in the country. The Young Professionals Forum aims to provide both an on-the-ground and an online sphere in which young professionals can be connected and informed, and find guidance and support.
